Baseball rap?Remember this?

What ever happened to the old song parody threads, anyhow? Are they going to be saved to this new forum somewhere?

If you’re a Leiter lover Better stay under/cover Don’t admit you feel ‘dat way. Don’t tell me nutin’ About your ballot/ stuffin’ He ain’t no all star any way You want to be Al’s cheer/ leader He ain’t never been a crowd/pleaser As far as I can remi/nisce But the best thing, lover Is that wild-high motha’ Throws balls that always miss, like this

Batters weren’t/swingin And dat ain’t fans/ singin As the ump’s left hand fly up in the/ air Hey diddle diddle just toss it down the middle So they might swing at it, take a /dare So take a /chance This ain’t no high school/dance Maybe someone can make a/play Hitters you ain’t been/foolin Cause they know what he/doin when Al lets them walk this way

Chorus:

Al lets them Walk this way! Get him outta’ Shea! (repeat 2X) (repeat all 2X) Well just let me smack you head! Oooh, a-like this!

He tries hitters /teasin’ Ain’t no fuckin’ reason He can’t throw a pitch at the knees Or throw three strikes over To the other club’s socker Or let his teammates play some/ D He’s a consistent/loser Throws like a Tampax/ user Never throws up something they’ll miss He just tries to nibble Not like that ol’ Rob Dibble And give the fans some wanted bliss, like this

Batters weren’t/swingin And dat ain’t fans/ singin As the ump’s left hand fly up in the air Hey diddle diddle just toss it down the middle So they might swing at it, take a /dare So take a /chance This ain’t no high school/dance Maybe someone can make a/play Hitters you ain’t been/foolin Cause they know what they/doin when Al lets them walk this way
